All the water heater talk had me out inspecting mine today. I've never changed out an anode before. Is this typical of a worn rod? A good deal of white sediment came shooting out when I drained it. ...
Atwood water heaters tanks are made of aluminum alloy........no steel parts/components. Drain hole is aluminum that is why the nylon drain plug is used (so threads are not damaged/galled up)
No anode cause of the use of aluminum alloy tank...........although given enough time the tank can develop pin holes due to water chemistry/electrolysis. Just like using an aluminum anode rod.
